201 The Outcome

Lewis didn’t stop Uncle Olsen this time.

After all, he too was quite angry.

In the time he had spent with Keira, he had come to understand her well.

On the surface, she seemed indifferent to being an “illegitimate daughter,” but because of Mrs. Olsen, she felt some self-loathing.

Keira had a soft interior but a tough exterior and could calmly deal with anything that came her way.

But on this issue alone, she didn’t know how much it

had hurt her.

Now that she knew Mrs. Olsen was her mother, who knew how happy she would be?!

A murderous intent flashed in Lewis’s eyes, and even if Uncle Olsen hadn’t said so, he wouldn’t let those two

Isla bit her lip and didn’t respond.

Holly sneered. “We investigated Finley’s bank records, and she’s known since elementary school! She was always threatened by Finley, and all her monthly allowance went to him.”

Poppy’s eyes widened in shock as she looked at Isla, feeling like a clown!

For all these years, she had pampered Isla, coddled Isla, always trying to please her even when the two were alone.

Isla always showed contempt for her, and sometimes even had hatred in her eyes, and Poppy comforted herself by thinking Isla never knew the truth, so it

wasn’t her fault.

But if Isla had known all along that she was her birth mother, why did she still treat her as if she was disposable?

Especially when they were alone, how many times she had wanted to get close to her daughter, but Isla was always full of malice, treating her like a nanny!

Suddenly, Poppy felt like a joke!
